Thanks

Ive been looking around the site for a few days. Ive learnt so many good tips. This is my first manual transmission car. When I picked the car up from the dealer they had a driving instructor take me out and teach me a few things.

Anyways now Im rambling lol

Welcome to SS! The Beetle is a lot of fun to drive, especially in 5-speed form.

I currently have your old car (1999 Taurus), so I feel your pain.

Enjoy the forums!

lol if I ever get a Beetle, before I leave the realership, i would take the flowers out, put it under the front wheels, and peel out of there
